That is a very mature take, the general 'platform' issue is the biggest hurdle to engage with the Hive ecosystem at all.
Due to this, I have been trying to think about 'trust' as a concept too. As far as it goes for my conclusion. Trust is Absolute, it is a Constant, a Decision and a Multi-Party Concept but with limited scope.
Which means Hive has to be absolute trustworthy, to work as any railway for the trustless use of wrapped coins. Looking at the real time witness situation and the size of the community is of incredible importance and even more so their perception to the outside. Something the Freechain documentary totally missed the mark on. In order to be maximum trust erecting, you want the chain to be perceived as insanely autonom and the documentary is suggesting that it is Dan and his free speech loving friends who are at the center of everything. Certainly not wrong, but a message that will get take the wrong way.
